Richard Marx - Don't Mean Nothing

Welcome to the big time You're bound to be a star And even if you don't go all the way I know that you'll go far This race is for rats It can turn you upside down Ain't no one you can count on in this Sleazy little town, oh no Lots of promises in the dark But don't you open your heart Chorus Cause it don't mean nothin' The words that they say No it don't mean nothin' These games that people play No it don't mean nothin' No victim, no crime No it don't mean nothin' Till you sign it on the dotted line The director smiles as you walk in the door He says I love your work, babe But you're just not what we're looking for And it's never what but who it is you know So easy to get stuck in all that California snow, oh no Take a good look around and you'll find People tryin' to mess with your mind Repeat Chorus Hollywood can be so lonely Or make you the winner of a losing fight The party is never over Cause the stars are always shining Doesn't matter if it's day or night The producer says Let me change a line or two And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you And you want to scream but you gotta keep it all inside When you're trying to make a living There ain't no such thing as pride oh no Lots of promises in the dark But don't you open your heart Repeat Chorus Don't mean nothing at all Songwriters: GAITSCH, BRUCE / MARX, RICHARD Welcome to the big time. You\'re bound to be a star This race is for rats, It can turn you upside down And even if you don\'t go all the way, I know that you\'ll go far Ain\'t no one you can count on in this sleazy little town But don\'t you open your heart Oh, no Lots of promises in the dark Chorus The words that they say Cause it don\'t mean nothin\' These games that people play Don\'t mean nothin\' No, it don\'t mean nothin\' It don\'t mean nothin\' No victim, no crime Till you sign it on that dotted line The director smiles as you walk in the door But you\'re just not what we\'re looking for He says, "I love your work, babe" It\'s never what but who it is you know So easy to get stuck in all that California snow Take a good look around and you\'ll find People tryin\' to mess with your mind Repeat Chorus Make you the winner of a losing fight But the party is never over Hollywood can be so lonely Cause stars are always shining Doesn\'t matter if it\'s day or night The producer says, "let me change a line or two" And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside. When you\'re trying to make a living, There ain\'t no such thing as pride, no But don\'t you open your heart Lot of promises in the dark Repeat Chorus It don\'t mean nothing at all
